It seems like a Jewish right wing are determined to start a Middle East war and WWIII . Israel is the equivalent of a Fascist state and it’s time to call them out as such .
Facts are facts, whether I want them or not. I'm simply pointing to articles characterising Israel as a Genocidal, Apartheid Pariah state. You can ignore them as much as you like but that is the opinion of many people.
To be clear - are you accusing me of being anti-Semitic because I thanked a post?
Is the "thanks" button now Hamas?
The 'Thanks' button is Hamas, anti-semitism and pogrom all rolled into one accusation
It sounds like that may have been done to strong arm Lebanon and in turn to pressure Hezbollah to accept the ceasefire proposal. We have seen other strikes in areas that are not known Hezbollah strong holds of late. I wonder is Israel's position on a ceasefire a tacit admission that they may not be able to achieve their goals in Southern Lebanon through military means?
Look over there! A squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could you not just give an opinion?
I'm not ignoring anything. I just believe those opinions to be wrong. And the ICJ will demonstrate that.
The thanks button is certainly not Hamas, however someone who thanks every batsh*t crazy anti-semitic trope against Israel, but never acknowledges a post against Hamas certainly has an agenda.
i mean what is the point of posting 'Israel is a genocidal state' 5 times a day achieving other than to further an agenda.
How can you be so sure?
If the ICJ don't. What stance will you take then? Will the Judges be anti semitic if they grant arrest warrants for Nethanyu and Gallant?
I just don't feel that it meets the UN definition.
Genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religiousgroup, in whole or in part.
It definitely doesn't meet the 'whole' part, so you're down to 'in part', and I don't see any evidence of that.
Given South Africa's Ramaphosa's antics with Putin i would question the motive behind their case anyway.
Regarding the ICC, I'm not sure a warrent will be issued. The prosecutor broke protocol and went public with his intention to seek a warrent. There are allegations against him, including that it could have been a publicity stunt to distract from his own turmoils.
I don't know what exactly his motivation to go public was, but any breach of normal convention in a court like that sounds suspicious to me.
It's strange these allegations surfaced not long after a Guardian report on mossad activity going back 10 years to undermine, blackmail and intimidate people working for the ICJ. Still ,Khan could be guilty of wrongdoing
In any case whether it was a distraction... or Khan broke protocol, the Judges will decide on the issue now.
Will you accept the decision of the court if they grant the arrest warrants?
Maybe his Lebanese son in law might have a chat with him?
Here's hoping...
I'm no fan of Bibi, so i have absolutely no problem with him being arrested.
I just think he's far more likely to be tried in Israel for corruption.
However, i do think there is something odd about the warrent. I mean, he had to 'step outside' protocol for a reason.
The case was opened by a Muslim woman, and the warrent requested by a Muslim man. It is possible that it is motivated by religious grounds. I don't want to slip into conspitacy theory here, but people in positions within the courts can be as libel to be racist, homophopic, anti-semitic as anyone else, the old arguement from authority.
He should definitely have put Bibi and Gallant on seperate warrents to Hamas. That in itself seemed to me to be an attempt to associate the leaders of a democratic country with the leaders of a terrorist organisation and put them on the same level, and his reason for going public may have been that he was uncertain that he was going to be successful and that allowed him to do most damage. All just speculation though.
Again, we'll have to wait and see.
NIght!
You're trying to imply here that accusations of genocide have somehow being trumped up against Israel by dodgy characters. At this point, it would probably be the majority of the public in the West who believe that the terrorist state have been carrying out genocide for the last 13 months (the opinions of Zionist loving politicians and the media in all this are largely irrelevant….they are the corrupt ones).
Lots of Jews have been to Gaza and they were not executed.
Example Dr Gabor Mate, Holocaust survivor.
Please desist with your misinformation.
If you've followed my posts as closely as you seem to have, including a detailed analysis of my 'thanks' history, you're well aware of my opinion of Hamas.
So, what's your opinion on Israel's actions that have led to the deaths of many tens of thousands of innocents killed in Gaza and Lebanon?
Well, the ICJ certainly does feel that the SA case of Israeli Genocide is plausible. So much so, they issued directives to Israel to prevent genocide - twice.
I'd say the ICJ trumps your "feelings".
As for the ICC, I'm guessing your suspicion is founded only on the fact that you just don't like that warrants were issued. Unless of course you're of the opinion, like genocide, that Netanyahu and Gallant have absolutely not committed war crimes? If so, there's a tidal wave of opinions to the contrary.
If I posted something like "the case was opened by a Jewish woman and requested by a Jewish man", I'd bet this thread would go into meltdown.
The disregard for civilian life is shocking really
And all the rest of it . At least we said something here fwiw
I watched a very good interview with a Jewish historian last night in which he says that a colonial group attempting to settle a country or land in which the existing natives of the land are resisiting have two options really. You can attempt the Rhodesia, Irish or SA model in which a minority group rules over a larger native group by force but eventually this model fails as we've seen or you can do the American model which involves wiping out the native population. He said it's clear that Israel is trying the latter by killing as many Palestinians as possible and making the land unliveable for the survivors.
So, Qatar has confirmed that the Hamas leaders have left the country.

The US has warned Turkey against harboring them. Any thoughts on where they will go?

Care to post a link to the interview?
I'm not sure was it this one:

or this one:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/13/israel-gaza-historian-omer-bartov
I watched it on X and when I put in a search for Jewish historian describes Israels actions in Gaza as genocide these all came up. I'll keep searching for you though, it's interesting reading.
I doubt Turkey will pay too much heed to the US. They were happy enough to refuse Isaac Herzog passage through their airspace to attend COP.
What was the name of the historian?
I think it was John Mearsheimer. The video is 1:35 long and it was a 1 minute clip I saw on X. Have a watch of the whole thing, it'll do you good.
I'm familiar with his work. Are you familiar with his theory of offensive realism?
I wasn't until I just googled it. Do you have any view on the original post I gave in which a historian said a colonial movement that doesn't exterminate or relocate the original inhabitants of the land they are taking is doomed to failure?
They also might not be inclined to listen given the Americans refused to hand over the guy they believe was responsible for the coup against Erdoğan several years ago
Not sure what this has got to do with Israel. To answer your question, history has shown us that a colonial movement does not need to exterminate or re-locate the original inhabitants to succeed. If the number of settlers outnumbers the original inhabitants, for example, the colonial project is likely to succeed.
Wasn't the Jewish/Muslim split (if you consider Palestine and Israel as one entity) approx 50/50 on either side?
Using your point above, could it not be argued that one of the purposes of this war is to better this ratio in Israel's favour by mass removing Palestinians from Gaza, to ensure the viability of the colony?
I think most people looking at this can see the tactics that being implemented are ethnically cleansing the region of it's inhabitants. What could be 100k civilian Palestinian deaths (70% women and children) is completely out of proportion to what was inflicted on those poor civilians in Israel, so there is obviously something bigger at play.
This guy is not a fan of Bibi. I assume he is an Arab Israeli.
